Prison
Fellowship Ministries was founded by Chuck Colson, who served as special
counsel to President Nixon and went to prison in 1975 for
Watergate-related crimes. When Colson got out of prison, God radically
redirected this former attorney’s career goals—leading him to go
back to prison, this time to minister to the men and women behind bars.
Established in 1976, Prison Fellowship has grown into the largest prison
ministry in the world, partnering with thousands of churches and tens of
thousands of volunteers.
